I also note the seat lug has been torched - were any repairs done around that area? That would expain the top tube stops having been done at the same time.
What is more, the guides are located for right-front/left-rear brake routing. Interesting.

Don't blame the fixters for the hanger. That was a very common "fix" in the day to mount a Campy derailleur with a hook.
Yeah, you can tap the hanger and file a stop, but most bikes shops did not bother to do a finese job.
